Meanwhile, one man who has managed to win an Open Championship - American John Daly - is looking forward to the warm temperatures he can expect in Singapore. "I like coming over here, at least it's hot, I know it's raining but at least it's warm, it's good for my old bones," said Daly. Daly is always one of the biggest draws for the galleries wherever he plays, and he has an explanation for that.

Dedicated

"I think that's the intriguing thing about me, and I feel it every day. It's like I don't which John Daly will show up. But I know it's a more trying and more dedicated John Daly every day now," said the two-time major winner. "This year in particular, I've had some horrific rounds and horrific ball striking rounds but I've hung in there and that's the thing I wish I had learnt at a young age. "I think I've learned an awful lot on managing golf courses a little better over the years compared to the early 90s where I had no clue and I just went for everything," added Daly. With his confidence boosted by his win at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf last month, Ireland's Padraig Harrington hopes he will not have to break a sweat to win in Singapore's topical heat. "Believe it or not, it doesn't bother me one bit, it's actually a big advantage for me to come here and play in the extreme heat. I'm disciplined in what I eat and drink," he said. "I'm fit and I don't perspire too much. I've never been the guy you would see in a shirt with a pool of perspiration or anything like that." Harrington hopes to make amends for four years ago, when he lost to India's Jeev Milkha Singh of India by a single shot. "I lost in 2008 and it was probably my most bitter loss ever on a golf course. I was two shots ahead with three holes to play and I played them in two-over par, so I came close that year and I can certainly remember those three holes very well," he added.
